"You're going to sneak into the prime minister's mansion alone at night? I'm going too!" Wan Ruo stood up and demanded.
Bai Chen looked at Wan Ruo, his brows slightly furrowed. He walked up to her, lifted her chin with his small fan, and said playfully, "You really want to be with me all the time?"
What? Wan Ruo looked confused.
"Although I know I'm very charming, it's better for you to stay here! You'll only get in the way!" Bai Chen said coldly.
Wan Ruo: "..."
What's going on! Stop being so narcissistic! You arrogant jerk!
"I must go. I must find out how they died! After all... he was still grandma's son!" Wan Ruo tightly grasped the quilt with both hands and said firmly in a low voice.
Looking at Wan Ruo, Bai Chen could feel her current mood.
Originally, Bai Chen wanted to insist that she stay, just because he didn't want Wan Ruo to get into danger. But when he saw her looking up, his heart immediately softened.
Wan Ruo looked up, her big watery eyes filled with tears.
Looking at Wan Ruo in front of him, Bai Chen felt full of pity.
The two of them changed into night clothes and shuttled on the walls and rooftops under the dark night.
Finally, they quietly arrived at the prime minister's mansion.
Since Wan Ruo had been here at night before, she was not unfamiliar with the surrounding environment.
The two quietly flew onto the roof of Qin Manman's bedroom and gently lifted the tiles to look down.
They saw Qin Manman offering incense to the infant spirit.
Wan Ruo watched Qin Manman's strange behavior and wanted to see what she was offering, but due to the angle, she could only see half of it. It seemed to be something shiny and golden.
"What is she offering? Can you see it?" Wan Ruo asked in a soft voice.
Bai Chen saw the thing and his brows slightly frowned. Thinking of the blood - stench mixed in the resentment of the infant spirit that attacked Wan Ruo in Shananfang, he had guessed at that time that someone must have sacrificed with blood for it to be so powerful.
With this thought in mind, he seemed to have an answer and said coldly, "It's a little ghost!"
A little ghost? Wan Ruo looked incredulous and said, "Qin Manman is actually raising a little ghost? Could this be related to the deaths of Qin Jiang and Zhang Shi?"
Suddenly, Wan Ruo seemed to remember something and said in a flash of realization, "I said that when I saw Qin Manman before, she clearly had a scar on her face but it disappeared for no reason. I was still wondering about it at that time. It seems it must be related to this!"
"Shh!" Bai Chen motioned for Wan Ruo to be quiet and look down.
After Qin Manman finished offering incense, she started to talk to the infant spirit.
They hiding on the roof couldn't hear clearly.
"I heard that someone from above came to investigate the murder case in the mansion today. What should we do?" Qin Manman asked nervously.
"Why are you so panicked? You didn't kill anyone! Don't worry, they won't find out about you!" The infant spirit said eerily.
Qin Manman was still very panicked and said, "Although I didn't kill them, they did die because of me. How can I not be nervous? ... And, what happened when I asked you to deal with Wan Ruo last time?"
"You still have the nerve to say. If it weren't for helping you deal with that woman, would I have gotten injured? I escaped death and came back only to find you..." The more the infant spirit said, the angrier it became.
"Injured? Is she that powerful? She's just a girl. How could she hurt you?" Qin Manman looked incredulous.
She knew how powerful the infant spirit was since it had killed her parents right in front of her.
But to say that Wan Ruo could hurt it, how could she believe it!
"She has very scary people around her, and that woman is not simple either!" The infant spirit thought of that night when Wan Ruo could draw talismans out of thin air and her spiritual power was so strong. It still felt a little scared.
Her potential was far more than that!
Even though the infant spirit said so, Qin Manman still couldn't believe it. What was the difference between them? They were both from the same family. Wasn't she just raised by that old woman? How could she be so powerful?
The infant spirit seemed to see through her mind and said disdainfully, "What? Are you jealous? Let me put it this way. Your dirty soul is not even a fraction of hers. Her soul is extremely yin and pure. It's a rare treasure!"
Hearing the infant spirit belittle herself like this, Qin Manman's heart was filled with more jealousy and dissatisfaction.
"My soul is dirty? Humph! We're both the same! Otherwise, how could we collude?" Qin Manman said mockingly.
The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Bai Chen and Wan Ruo on the roof.
Wan Ruo looked at Qin Manman in front of her in disbelief. She suddenly felt that Qin Manman was a stranger. How could she become like this?
She felt a little heart - broken and her heart instantly turned cold. Thinking that Qin Manman might be the only relative she had left in the world, she couldn't help but feel heart - ache.
Probably only Wan Ruo knew that even though Qin Manman was so annoying, she always tolerated her, just because she cared about that little bit of remaining family affection.
But now it seemed that the little bit of family affection she cared about was so ridiculous...
At this moment, Bai Chen suddenly noticed something!
He immediately covered Wan Ruo's mouth and motioned for her not to make a sound.
They saw a yellow weasel had come over and was quietly wandering in the yard for a while.
At this time, Qin Manman in the room seemed to hear some strange sound.
The sound was a bit like a sneeze, "kaka", and it was a bit sharp.
"What's that sound?" Qin Manman suddenly asked.
The infant spirit also seemed to sense that there was something in the yard.
"Kaka" The sound like a sneeze sounded again.
Qin Manman listened intently. At this time, the window behind her suddenly opened wide. A strong wind blew up and a gust of cold wind passed by!
She seemed to smell something.
At the same time, Bai Chen on the roof also felt something was wrong and quickly covered Wan Ruo's nose!
Just then, Qin Manman seemed to see Zhang Shi and Qin Jiang, who were already dead, come back in a trance.
The two were standing at the door, staring at her eerily.
Scared out of her wits, she quickly hid in the corner and trembled. She looked at the door trembling all over.
She saw Qin Jiang staring straight at her with his two eyes, while his body was walking backwards towards her very slowly, step by step. Qin Manman screamed in horror.
"Ah, no, no, Dad, Mom, don't come after me. It wasn't me who killed you!" As Qin Manman looked up, she saw the old woman she had strangled with her own hands appear here.
The old woman was bleeding from all seven orifices and her face was as white as paper. "I died so miserably! Come with me quickly! Ahahaha..."
The old woman's eerie laughter echoed in Qin Manman's mind and couldn't be shaken off.
Qin Manman seemed to have gone crazy. She randomly picked up the candlestick and waved it wildly in the air.
On the roof, Wan Ruo watched Qin Manman's actions and then looked at the door of the room. There was nothing there!
Just as she was looking confused and was about to be suffocated by Bai Chen, she quickly patted Bai Chen's hand.
She motioned that she was about to suffocate!
Finally, Bai Chen let go of his hand. At this time, Wan Ruo took big gulps of air as if she had been reborn.
"Why is Qin Manman like this?" Wan Ruo gasped and asked in a low voice.
